  • Propaganda and ideological superiority of communism.

  • Cold war rivalry. Proxy battle.

  • National pride and unity.

  • International prestige.

    So nothing important then.

    Yes, you've definitely come up with a plausible reason why a Muslim country would be okay with a transgender athlete. Algeria is just desperate for international prestige. It will definitely do something or other.

    I love how your whole conversation here is like "I'm not saying Khelif isn't a woman and shouldn't compete, but someone who is a person who boxes women that I have not named, but have decided is not a woman, should not compete with women. But I'm not saying it's Khelif."
